What I get is this (vim default?):
/*

and what I expect is this (phpdoc standard syntax):
/**

This seems to indicate that vim was compiled without +comments but
according to :version (posted below), this directive was included.
This is an unmodified gvim binary as downloaded very recently from
vim.org.
I doubt that this is a bug, but I don't see what else could be
causing this.
Thanks for any help!

I haven't delved very deep into the 'comments' options. In CSS files
it is set (by the ftplugin, I guess) to
comments=s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/
and I get
/*
*
*
*/
With your settings, I see
/**
*__
*__
*/
where the underscores represent spaces which are removed if I add no
text; but there must be some other relevant settings, because I see it
if I do it after ":set ft=css" but not in a virgin [No Name] buffer,
where Vim adds no comment leader.
-- Are you sure you typed _both_ asterisks after the slash in the
first comment line?

Tony, thanks for your help.
I discovered that the problem was caused by the lines:
au BufWinLeave * mkview
au BufWinEnter * silent loadview
Apparently the view file that is created contains a copy of the vimrc
settings. This prevents changes to the vimrc to be honored once a file
has been opened. The temporary fix was to clean up the "vimfiles/view"
directory. I think the right fix is to move these files to the very top
of the vimrc file, but I am skeptical that this will help at all. I wish
mkview only saved folds/marks/cursor position information instead of a
full vimrc copy. I also discovered an unrelated error caused by these
lines, which is fixed by using:
au BufWinLeave *.* mkview
au BufWinEnter *.* silent loadview
...instead.
Hope some of this helps someone else with similar problems (e.g. vimrc
changes being ignored for existing files).
